Q&A
What's the most common cause of dead spots in Shorewood lawns, and how do you fix it?
In Shorewood, dead patches are often caused by a combination of soil compaction, fungal diseases like brown patch, or grub damage. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact issue. Our fix might involve core aeration to relieve compaction and improve root health, followed by a targeted fungicide or grub treatment if needed. We then oversee the reseeding process with grass varieties suited to our local climate to ensure a thick, resilient recovery.
Why are my shrubs dying, and can Dominick's help save them?
Shrubs in our area commonly decline due to winter burn, improper planting depth, root rot from poor drainage, or pest infestations like scale. We can absolutely help. Our service includes a diagnostic check of the plant's health and the surrounding soil. Often, we can implement a recovery plan with proper pruning, soil amendments, and treatments. If a shrub is too far gone, we can recommend and install a hardy, native replacement that will thrive in your Shorewood yard with less maintenance.
As a Shorewood homeowner, how can I prevent these landscaping problems in the future?
Prevention starts with a consistent, professional maintenance plan tailored to our local seasons. We recommend core aeration in the fall to strengthen roots before winter, proper mulching to protect shrub roots from temperature swings, and a scheduled fertilization program that feeds your lawn without promoting disease. We also provide guidance on correct watering practices for our soil type. Think of us as your partner in proactive care, helping you avoid common issues before they start.
